-The Druid's Point of View

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yo!　How unusual to see you here."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was drinking at a restaurant when I was unexpectedly tapped on the back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I looked, I saw Guillmas.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nothing much to it, though."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Really?　You looked like you had something on your mind?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... Oh, you're worried.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sure he overheard his brother Dorgas talking about Ivy's involvement.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He's a worrier, after all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nothing to worry about."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Two nights ago, I saw my brother and Ivy talking and I knew I couldn't hide anything from him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So I was going to tell them everything and let Ivy be the judge.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If Ivy left me as a result of the conversation, I knew it was inevitable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But ever since I decided to tell Ivy, I had been nervous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

For some reason, I was extremely afraid that Ivy would reject me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It had been a long time since I had felt that way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yesterday, I was ready to talk to her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I had no idea that it would lead me to the meaning of my skills, or that I would learn Ivy's secret.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But I was still surprised at how many things Ivy was carrying.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I could imagine that the things about Sola, Ciel and Flem would be a secret.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Because I realized that they were quite rare.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But I never imagined that Ivy herself was starless.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

An "abomination," a being forsaken by the god of storytelling.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I never imagined that such a being really existed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's really going on?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What, you're still here?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh shit, I got lost in thought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This guy's got a wild intuition, or maybe he's just perceptive in weird places.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hey, what's up with Ivy?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I knew you heard about my brother.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Huh. It's all right."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yesterday's indescribable discussion?　I remembered the

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What is it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'It's nothing. I really don't have a problem with Ivy."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Really?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look at Gilmas and he is twisting his head a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This guy knows my personality too well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sure he thought I would tell Ivy about myself if he knew my brother got involved with Ivy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And he was looking for me because he thought I might have a problem with Ivy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's so white-knuckle, 'I can't believe I'm meeting you here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As you can imagine, I told Ivy everything. I told Ivy everything, as you can imagine, and we're good to go.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He looks a little surprised at my words, but immediately starts smirking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That expression pisses me off.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't know when he ordered the sake, but it arrives.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Here, it's on the house.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is that the drink you were going to comfort me with?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hahaha, I guess I didn't need that. But still, Ivy is a sight to behold!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ivy is going to have a subtle look on her face when Guilmouth tells her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After all, he had the reputation of being 'a little bit of a disappointment, Mr. Guilmouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Speaking of which, did Ivy say she found a slave?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Huh?" ...... No, I haven't heard. And I don't think I'm looking for one right now."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They probably won't look for it until I give them an answer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder what I should do about the trip or .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I have tried to leave this town before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But I couldn't do it because I felt guilty when I saw Dorgas.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's up to him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What are you talking about?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, it's nothing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Really?"　But you're not looking for it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I nod my head at Gilmas' slightly disappointed voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'What's the matter?'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Oh, someone I know fell into slavery. Well, I thought I'd introduce you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Who is it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A female adventurer in her twenties."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'I don't think you can introduce me to ....... What we're looking for is a male adventurer in his forties or so."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ah!　I was."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hey," he said. Ivy's busy, too. Don't make me waste my time."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I mean, why are you sulking?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Don't pout.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's not cute or even creepy when a good old dad does it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's creepy!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What was that?　Did that come out of your mouth?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Funny, I thought I said it from the heart.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Totally, you're such a jerk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ha ha ha. Hey, I'm ...... no, it's nothing."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think you should do what you want to do."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't know what you're getting at, but druids should do what they want to do."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was invited to travel to ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I tell them that without giving any details.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'I see. I'll miss you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

For some reason, in Gilmouth's mind, the assumption is that he is going on a trip.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I didn't know he was still going. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Really?"　It's good to act honestly on how you really feel."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You looked happy when you said you'd been invited on the trip."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A happy expression?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Really?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You've been suppressing yourself for a long time, haven't you?　Go your own way, for God's sake!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Saying this, Guilmouth downs his drink in one gulp.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My own way, huh?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You say something similar to Ivy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, I'm going home. My wife is waiting for me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, yes, yes. You two are as close as ever.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Of course. Druid.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm a little surprised to hear Guillmas make a formalized voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What is it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Seeing you with Ivy makes me feel at ease. You smile so naturally in front of her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is that so?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I didn't notice that at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see Gilmas off as he leaves.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I drink the sake he bought me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Why is it that the drink I'm supposed to be comforting him with at ...... is a sweet drink, which I don't like!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Harassment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's very Guillmouth of you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He lightly taps his cheek with his palm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Laughing naturally, huh?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I've never been conscious of it in front of Ivy, come to think of it .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh well, I can laugh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I left the store and headed home.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Walking slowly, I feel a little drunk and the breeze feels good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I stop at a place where I am almost home.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There is someone in front of the house.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The other person seems to have noticed me, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He raised his hand when he saw me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Brother Druka.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Long time no see. How have you been?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... Oh, what are you doing here today?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I stopped and my brother approached me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sorry about the dolgas," he says.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My eyes widen involuntarily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The words were that shocking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My brothers hate me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's why you should be able to hear such words. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And I'm sorry for everything I've done.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... Is that the real Druka brother?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My brother smiles slightly at my surprise.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That surprises me again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The last time my brother laughed at me was before he knew his star had been stolen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was a long time ago.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I used to be such a fool, didn't I?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My brother smiles bitterly at me, and I finally relax from my body.
